Topic: Screwing into POD walls Posted: 06 Jul 2016 at 9:55am |
Hi,
From all we have found on the forum about mods, I am presuming it is okay to screw into the walls? Could I get some advice about this? Thanks! |

Be sure that anything you screw into the walls is less than the thickness of the wall (ask me how I know this). Keeping any fastener to less than an inch would be good.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

If you need to use hollow wall anchors, try these:
